The Nets are expected to re-sign veteran small forward Keith Bogans, a source told the Daily News.

Bogans, 32, played in just five games with the Nets last season before suffering a nasty injury, fracturing his ankle and completely tearing his deltoid ligament. Bogans has remained in the area during and after recovery, training at the Nets practice facility.

The Nets are planning to reward him with a contract.

The signing would give the Nets 12 players under contract, as they also inked Jerry Stackhouse on Monday.

Ehh, I was hoping we could get someone like Matt Barnes at the 3. We are composing a nice bench. We need a backup center and I DO NOT want Milicic. I have watched him play several time and he is a scrub.

The backup center is going to be the most important because our starting interior defense is sub-par and we cannot have a backup center that is going to allow the other teams 7th and 8th man to penetrate at will. There's not many options at backup though.
